You discovered 1000 grams of an unknown element called Coolium 23 that has a half life 23 days. How long will it take for you to have 600 grams remaining.

13.8 days

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we can solve it by means of a rule of three, knowing the amount of life for 1000 grams, it must be proportional for 600 grams, like this:

grams   days

 1000     23

 600        x

x = 600 * 23/1000

x = 13.8

which means that for the 600 grams it would be an average life of 13.8 days.

answer:   x = 3 + √11     and     x = 3 - √11

step-by-step explanation:

x² - 6x + 9 = 11

(x - 3)² = 11

x - 3 = ±√11

    x = 3 ± √11

x = 3 + √11     and     x = 3 - √11
